Operation Beautiful Roll-out

Finally, the day you've all beenwaiting for...the big reveal!  Due to the enormous response on Operation Beautiful I am dividing up these lovely ladies through out this week in the order they come in. If you're not up today, be sure to check back through Friday for your feature!!

Annie

"I am currently 38 weeks Pregnant. So A lot of my emotions and grumpy days stem from that.  A lot of times I do feel insecure and out of place. But I have to realize You are who you are, And people will love you for who YOU are! Your real laugh, your real smile! If people don't like who you are, then maybe there is something wrong with THAT person!"

I feel most beautiful when...  I get all dressed up on one of those lounge around days just to impress my hubs! And he comes home and tells me I look really good.

My favorite physical feature is my... eyes. That is the main thing people comment about. I remember when I was younger I would get so embarrassed when people would say " Wow your eyes are so Big "

Something non-physical that I love about myself is... I love that I have the eye for Photography. I haven't done any classes or anything with photography. I just love taking pictures!

I'm happiest when... I'm laughing hysterically with my husband and can't stop! I love to laugh. It's the best medicine!

Casey

I feel most beautiful when... I'm around people I love. Whether it's my husband, my family, my friends, it's when I'm amidst people that I care about and I know they care for me. All the aesthetic of beauty, appearances, materialistic junk kind of fades away and there's no real thought about whether or not I have food in my teeth or if my mascara's run all over my cheeks from laughing too hard.

My favorite physical feature is my... hair. It's always just made my life easier by drying naturally, not making me spend hundreds of dollars to color it, and getting great lil waves after being in the ocean or pool.

Something non-physical that I love about myself is... my laughter- okay and sometimes snort. I have a giggle that kind of boils over and snorts a little. I went through a time of being embarrassed about it, then overusing it (ugh...high school) and now I just let it flow as it may. But it's one of the things my husband and I love to do...just laugh, giggle and snort together!

I'm happiest when... It's hard to answer with only ONE thing but I'm happiest when I'm with people I love, doing something adventurous and learning something new all at the same time! Woot!

Gina

I feel most beautiful when... in the sunshine, when I have the chance to help someone, and when I'm surrounded by close friends and family who don't care if I like singing and dancing randomly.

My favorite physical feature is my... long hair. I have no reason to dye it or change it in any drastic way.

Something non-physical that I love about myself is... my ability to be a good listener.

I'm happiest when... Singing with my best friends while on our favorite rides and roller coasters at Knoebels Amusement Park in Pennsylvania. It's one of my favorite places in the world.

Karly

I feel most beautiful when... I put on a brand new outfit; the fabric fresh and crisp and the colors vibrant, the flow of the curves exactly where they are supposed to be and flattering in the all the right places. I feel like a beauty queen in a new outfit.

My favorite physical feature is my... eyes. They are the most expressive part of my body and will give away all my feelings even if I'm wearing my poker face. Usually I'm just expressing silliness, and there is nothing better than silliness.

Something non-physical that I love about myself is... my ability to sight-learn. I was a great sight-reader with the violin, and I can self-teach myself pretty much anything if I "see" how it is done. Also, my loyalty to others. When I make a good friend, I will fight for that person no matter what, even if that person may be wrong about something, because friends stick by you through the good AND the bad.

I'm happiest when... I'm creating new jewelry designs for my shop or drawing or painting. Pretty much anything creative makes me happy because it allows me to release any negativity in a beautifully positive way, and I love that.

Anastasia

I feel most beautiful when... I have my hair done. The last two years I've been experimenting with my hair frequently.I've changed many hairstyles and haircuts.Nevertheless I realised that when I have my hair curly and wear a red lipstick I feel more beautiful.

My favorite physical feature is my... My eyes!They have a weird colour that is difficult to specify.Its something between olive green and honey colour.Sometimes they get darker, like brown but mostly they are olive green. When people ask me whats my eyes colour I say it depends on my mood :)

Something non-physical that I love about myself is... My laugh. I laugh all the time and I got that characteristic from my mom.  I guess that is why in 90% of my blog pictures I'm smiling at the camera. When I was younger we were playing a game with my sister called 'who will smile first' and guess what...I never, ever gained that game hahahahaha. Its really hard for me to be serious and not smile. I even smile to strangers when I'm walking down the streets (most likely they think I'm crazy).

I'm happiest when... I have true friends close to me. True friendship is something really difficult nowadays because most people are selfish. Thus when I realise that I have true friends then I'm very happy. Friendship is important to me especially now that I stay far away from my family. My friends are my family and I want them to be true, real and royal to me. I believe that being surrounded with real friends is what really makes me happy, 'cause I know that some people out there really care about me.

"This project is to make you think, ponder, appreciate the simple things about yourself, that add up and make you truly beautiful. The smaller qualities that you adore about yourself, like your lips or eyes, that make you feel pretty on the worst of days. This project is about your talents, your secret hidden abilities, your amazing personalities. Those quirks which make you, uniquely you. And, I sincerely hope that after you read through the finished product to discover how these other ladies feel about themselves, you can spend the rest of the day, sincerely feeling great about yourself."
